The Hulk

Bode has taken on the nickname of the Hulk in our house.  He has quite a temper and has been quite mischievous over the last few weeks that I am having a hard time keeping up.  I thought Corbin and Emma were busy bodies but he puts both of them to shame.  In a weeks time he managed to dump half a gallon of milk on my kitchen floor, red gatorade on my carpet, and color with marker (luckily washable) all over my walls and himself.  That was just a few big "Hulk" moments that we had.  The rest consisted of dumping the toys out on a regular basis and spilling things or dumping food on the floor multiple times.  I sure love him but man does he make me tired!!


Hogle Zoo

We have been in the middle of Lacrosse season which means Kyle is gone A LOT!  Saturday morning we woke up and the kids were begging to go to the zoo.  Kyle doesn't really love the zoo and it takes a lot for him to be willing to go.  It helped the kids that he had been gone a lot and was willing to do anything for them.  We also bribed him with going to Tony Burgers after the zoo.  I love the zoo and I love taking my kids.  Even though we go quite a bit it never really gets old for me.  This time we decided to try the new train out.  We got to see both the male and female lions but that was about all that was great about the train.  Kyle and I were both pretty disappointed in the ride.  Any chance I get to spend the day doing something as a family is a really great day in my book!









Corbin Shaving

One beautiful Sunday morning we were all getting ready for church.  Corbin was in the shower, I was doing Emma's hair and Bode and Kyle were playing on the iPad.  All of a sudden we heard a crash from the bathroom.  It sounded like one of our razors had fallen.  We asked Corbin if he was ok and he replied he was.  A few seconds later he shouted, "Um.....I'm bleeding."  I went running in to see what had happened and he told me his lip was bleeding.  I got him out of the shower and immediately started trying to get the blood to stop.  I asked him what had happened and he just stared at me.  Kyle came in and took one look at him and asked him, "Did you try to shave?"  Corbin looked at him and tears started welling up in his eyes and said, "Yes."  Kyle and I burst out laughing.  We explained to him that he was way too young to be shaving but when he is old enough Daddy will teach him.  I could not stop laughing through it all.  It was so funny!  Poor little guy.


Blueberries

This is what happens when I leave Bode for a couple of minutes with a bowl full of blueberries. He decided to do somebody art with it.  Luckily for me he was at the counter and was already stripped down to his diaper.  He was very mad that I took them all away and was even more mad when I whipped out my phone to take pictures of him.

Easter

We had a very nice Easter morning. The kids woke up to their baskets and a small egg hunt around the house. We had breakfast and then watched General Conference.  The kids all got bubbles in their baskets so that kept them very entertained for most of conference.  After the afternoon session we went to Craig and Liz's house for a dessert get together.
